Our founder knows this gap personally. MILES of Freedom is his answer to it.

Beyond a Second Chance: Why Reentry Requires a New Beginning - https://t.co/MeCfVVbjww

A financial system that was never designed to welcome people back can make stability harder to reach.

As we prepare to expand our pre-release programming, we look forward to partnering with @Chase to provide hands-on finacial literacy training for life after incarceration.

Second chances are the core of humanity. If we can't accept other people's flaws and imperfections, then who are we really?

To us, every second chance is a new beginning.
